boinky 0 #1 September 25, 2005 By now, most of you have undoubtedly heard about the scorpion issue I seem to be having in my new home in Texas. I'm am trying to find ways to deal with it and I find that naming them entertains me and takes my mind off of them for a least a little while, as I tell others the story of them. Now's your chance to name the seventh one, and it's relationship to the other six and possibly any future ones. FYI-This one is the largest one to date, at a minimum of 2 inches in length, pinchers to tip of stinger (although my ass was most definitely [B]NOT[/B] getting down there to measure it before I squished it). They have all been light brown in color. #1-Scorpio #2-Scar, Scorpio's brother #3-Scorpiana, their sister #4-Sly, their mafia cousin #5-Skid, their country redneck cousin #6-Sarah, their socialite auntNina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts?

boinky 0 #3 September 25, 2005 QuoteShithead, kleptomaniacal son with addiction problems WOW! That's amazing!!! How did you know? That's the exact name I call my second X. He was an alcoholic. Stole money from me and his family. Lost his job and didn't support his family. While I think the name is fitting, do I [B]REALLY[/B] want to name one in honor of HIM?

sinker 0 #5 September 25, 2005 gawd I wish I hadn't have read this thread... scorps give me the creeps... when living in phoenix as a teen, i stepped on one while barefoot... whole leg went numb up to the hip... man I hate those things... one hid in my sister's file cabinet once, she reached in, looked like a bundle of rubber bands to her, and bang--stung her in the hand. fuckers. I hate 'em. -the artist formerly known as sinker Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boinky 0 #8 September 25, 2005 I join you in this fear/hatred. I'd love to be able to walk across the floor without looking where I step or be able to sleep with the lights off. Somewhere, in a previous thread, I list all the extremes that I go to to AVOID getting stung by one of the little bastards.

BillyVance 35 #11 September 25, 2005 #7. Screamer - at 2 inches, he's a guaranteed screamer for any ladies seeing him for the first time? Okay, it's long-winded... so sue me.

boinky 0 #16 September 25, 2005 Oh, trust me, I freak out every time I see one. Poor Mike...he has to try and calm me down long distance every time I find a new one. He tells me I'm being brave, considering the circumstances...but I don't think so. I'm quivering so badly on the inside, it's a wonder it doesn't feel me when I step on it. Thank God they don't hop, skip or jump. And to think people actually pay good money to have these bastards for pets. Thanks for your good wishes.

boinky 0 #18 September 25, 2005 Is "creepy" one of the choices? No? Well since I don't know what translucent means, I guess I'll go with tannish. Clean up? Do you actually think I'm going to pick those little bastards up, dead OR alive? I squish them so badly, there's normally nothing left to clean up.

boinky 0 #25 September 25, 2005 You mean OTHER[/B] than watching for scorpions? Well....um...see...it's like this....It's around 9:00 a.m. in Kosovo and Mike goes to work at 7:00 a.m., his time. I've gotten so used to staying up talking to him until 4-5 a.m., our time, that I can't go to sleep on the nights he's NOT at work! So I figured I'd put all that unspent energy into post-whoring so I can eventually catch up with his numbers! Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts?
